To be honest with you I didnt feel too bad when Mary died. I dont think i connected with her as a character or felt any of her pain or emotions. Thats probably because Sofia Coppola isnt a great actress...The character was a little weak...
I felt bad for Mike. He was our hero and he was our villain. To see everything hes gone through to protect his family(which includes wacking his own brother) and it comes down to this is very depressing. And the last part of GF 3 was more sad than GF 2 because though u felt he was alone he still had his children and something to live for...at the end of part 3 u know all he had were those dogs and cheap blueblocker glasses...his life was over...
